How to bring my monotub back to life? With Pictures

To make a long story short. My monotub hasn't even began to pin. I didnt use any polyfill. The substrate shrunk like hell. And I gave it no water. That is excatly what I did and why it is failing. Yesterday I got some polyfill to plug the holes and a squirt bottle. What should I do to bring it back to life. Pictures in 5 minutes.

How do i know if the RH and FAE are high? I left the polyfill off for weeks so I figured the FAE was very high... but then that probably made the RH very low.

Thankfully I have a second grow going thats still colonizing and looking great.... I guess i shouldnt introduce the other one into fruiting until i see pins???... this is my experimental grow but was hopeing for better results.

How long do I dunk for? Can i just add tap water into my tub and put something ontop the sub to keep it from floating?

It started to colonize then stopped then started... then i dabbed the extra moisture up with a napkin which is probably why it looks like that... but yes it is very dry... do u think just misting extra lot will take care of it so i wont need to dunk it... or can i just flip the sub over to expose teh other side?

I'm not going to regurgitate what has been said above, because it has been said well. But I'll leave you with two quotes that have been mantras to help me get through some of my failures:
"A young girl asked her grandmother, "Grandma, how did you become a master gardener?". The grandmother replied, "I killed 1,000 plants." - Japanese proverb
"Every failure is the price of tuition I have paid to learn a new lesson." - Paul Stamets
I 100% AGREE LOL... thats why i don't see this as a failure but rather an experiment and learning lesson
I will dunk asap

UPDATE: the cake held together and i washed it off gently on all sides... the bottom side looked 100% norml and had no green or anything that resembles bad stuff.
However, I did notice as i tried washing off the exposed dirt that there was alot of dirt underneath.. so I apparently didn't let it colonize long enough... but currently it is being dunked in luke warm water and being held down with a huge pot of water sitting on top of it. Damn that thing absorbed water fast... it was like a sponge

Yes... the yellow stuff was the the myc excreting previously... it dried... and there was a jelly like on it when i washed it off... I will add less poly fill next time.

Fungal growth said: the yellow, rubbery parts, which i have had on a few tubs as well, is likely from metabolites that excreted and then dried on the surface. also, when it was wet it had some jelly-like shit on it. cubes are INCREDIBLY tough, especially once the sub has colonized. i have had them look like that, have cit nto it, burned it with a torch, dropped it out of the tub onto the carpet, and am likely forgetting other ways i have abused them, and they all still managed to give me fruits.
